Chapter 1033 Consensus reached
Lying on the bed, Jia Pingan ran through today's events in his mind.
Conditions are limited, he and Li Yuanying are in the same room.
Li Yuanying experienced the greatest stimulation in his life today, so he started snoring after falling down.
Really happy.
As an envoy, Jia Ping'an must think clearly about everything, otherwise he will be caught blind if he encounters a change.
The Xi family is not well-known, so he doesn't have much memory. The only memory that can be linked is that the Khitan annexed the Xi clan.
The biggest feature of the grassland tribes is annexation. Whether it is the Huns or the Turks, or the Khitan Daliao, which became rampant later, they all became stronger by annexing other tribes.
Khitan will step on the corpses of countless tribes to reach the peak of the world, spanning hundreds of years.
But now the Xi clan, the migrant workers they started with, is gone.
Why did you take the Xi people to the southwest?
Jia Pingan smiled.
No one knows the meaning of this plan.
Not just the southwest, but also the south.
Huguangshu in the later generations, the world is full, and the black land in the later generations...
There are fertile lands in the north and south of China, but they haven't been developed yet.
So when Datang’s equal land system encountered Waterloo, which had no land to divide, the national fortune immediately fell into the abyss.
But when the fertile land in the south is developed... this Tang Dynasty will burst into even more brilliant brilliance.
The corners of Jia Ping'an's mouth curled up slightly.
"ah!"
On the makeshift bed less than one meter apart, Li Yuanying screamed.
He sat up abruptly.
Choking!
The horizontal knife rested on his neck.
Li Yuanying tremblingly said: "Who?"
Heng Dao retracted.
Jia Ping'an lay down, "It's a dead body!"
Li Yuanying was sweating profusely, and said uncomfortably: "I had a nightmare."
"Dream murder?"
Jia Pingan couldn't help thinking of Cao Mengde.
Li Yuanying shook his head, "I was killed in my dream."
"Lie down."
In the dark, I vaguely saw someone sitting next to me. That feeling made Jia Pingan very uncomfortable.
Li Yuanying lay down and calmed down slowly.
"Sir, does your Majesty know the idea of killing Xi Ren?"
Jia Ping'an was silent.
Li Yuanying was stunned, "Sir, you are cutting first and playing later."
Jia Ping'an remained silent.
"Sir, do you regret it? Forget it, I will write a letter to return to the court later, saying that the Xi family is not stable and cannot be achieved without migration..."
"gentlemen?"
A slight snoring sound came.
say!
Li Yuanying closed his eyes, and all kinds of encounters today were tumbling in his mind.
The gloomy sky, the vast white land, the ferocious Xiren, the torches lighting the night sky, the sound of horseshoes, the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of screams, the rush of blood, the touch of the enemy's body being slashed with a horizontal knife, the feeling of blood splashing on the face Warm, and smelly...
Woke up the next morning, Li Yuanying went to wash up and have breakfast with two dark circles under her eyes.
"There was nothing last night!"
Li Yuanying felt that the husband was worrying too much.
"Those people have been killed, how dare they do it?"
Jia Ping'an is reading the record of the interview.
"The leaders explained a lot last night, including the number of Xi people, where they are stationed, and how much food they have in stock... Without the support of Datang, they would not be able to survive these years, and I don't know how many people will starve to death."
Bao Dong was a little bit embarrassed.
Jia Pingan said: "Many times the kindness you think will only raise a group of killers, killers who want to kill you in their dreams."
Bao Dong was puzzled, "Duke is talking about Xi Ren?"
"many."
For thousands of years, China has surrendered countless foreign races. When they surrendered, they looked like family members, but such family members were poisonous.
When China weakened, the once docile grassland aliens in the north, the Jiaozhi in the south who bowed their heads, and even the Nanzhao in the southwest all got involved.
"must remember!"
After reading the confession, Jia Pingan raised his head and said, "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different!"
Looking at the annals of history, this sentence has been proved by countless blood and tears, but the rulers from generation to generation have followed the old path of their predecessors.
Datang never dreamed that he would be counterattacked by the Khitans of the Songmo Governor's Mansion at this moment.
The former Song Dynasty never imagined that it would be wiped out by its allies, the Mongols.
And Da Ming never thought that the Jurchen who was taken in by Emperor Wen would end up killing the Central Plains, Shenzhou Lu Chen...
Li Yuanying wandered around the city with two soldiers.
There are many Xi people in the city at the moment, and they are dragging the corpse out of the city.
Some Xi people shouted loudly on the side.
"Li Pidi was bought by the Khitan people and wanted to betray us!"
This is propaganda.
Except for Xi Ren who carried the corpse, no one was allowed to leave the city.
The Tang army sergeant guarding the gate said: "The higher-ups explained...that they are worried that the remnants of Li Pidi will be intercepted and killed outside."
Li Yuanying understands.
He wandered out of the city with two sergeants.
Three horses walked slowly.
The snow in many places outside the city has melted, and dry grass is exposed on the ground.
"My lord, it's time to go back."
The accompanying sergeant persuaded.
After Li Yuanying returned to the city, he continued to wander around inside.
As long as he stops, the tragedies of last night will appear in his mind.
So he was wandering around the small town like a lonely ghost.
He walked to a corner and looked at a small tree rooted in the wall in a daze.
Why kill people?
Li Yuanying felt his chest and abdomen rolling again.
Two sergeants were talking in low tones in a bored manner from the side.
Footsteps came from the side.
Then came from behind.
A row of earthen houses is in front, and there are roads on the left and right sides, which are not wide.
The two sergeants raised their eyes and squinted at both sides of the road.
The footsteps gradually accelerated.
Clang!
Two sergeants draw their swords.
"King!"
Li Yuanying woke up suddenly, "What?"
"No!"
A Xi Ren rushed out from the corner, and when he saw them, he turned around with a smirk, "Here they are!"
"Run!"
Li Yuanying subconsciously prepared to run to the other side.
The two sergeants did not move.
Xi Ren also poured out from the other side.
"It's the Deputy Envoy!"
A leader is laughing wildly.
Li Yuanying recognized him, he was a leader who was beside Li Pidi yesterday.
Interrogated last night, released, and here they are.
This is a long-planned action.
They wanted to kill me.
"Capture him alive!"
Xi people from both sides flocked to him.
"No bows!"
The two sergeants turned their backs to Li Yuanying, and one of them raised his head and shouted.
"ah…"
Another person said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong, please kill yourself!"
Li Yuanying: "..."
The sergeant at the end of the long roar said ferociously: "The sons and grandchildren of Emperor Gaozu cannot be captured! Your Majesty, do it!"
Horizontal knife steering.
Looking at these murderous eyes, Li Yuanying knew that if he didn't do anything, this person would hack him to death.
"My king..."
This king will not commit suicide!
Li Yuanying raised the horizontal knife and rested it on his neck, trembling.
He knows that his martial arts are bad, yesterday he hid in the crowd to sneak attack, but today is different.
Those Xi people swarmed in, the two sergeants could not stop them, and then Li Yuanying would be captured.
Why doesn't this king practice sword skills hard?
Li Yuanying repented.
He gritted his teeth and prepared to pull hard.
It is said that it will go away after pulling it, and it does not hurt.
There were dense footsteps above his head, followed by a familiar voice.
"Don't pull!"
Li Yuanying felt weak all over, and shouted: "Sir, help!"
It was only then that he realized that because of fear, his yelling was as sharp as a woman's.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Arrow rain flew down from the top of the city, those Xi people who were rushing over fell to the ground, and the rest turned and ran.
The leader is in it.
Just after running more than ten steps, a sergeant of the Tang Army appeared in front of him.
Two rows of Mo Dao Shou stood there.
Behind him is the archer.
"Kneel down!"
Mo Daomen move forward.
Heavy steps.
"Jia Pingan has long been prepared!"
The leader said in despair: "Get out!"
A Xiren rushed forward frantically.
A Mo Dao was brandished.
A good person was cut in half like this.
Plop!
Xi people knelt down one after another, but the momentum was too great, and many people slid over after kneeling.
"Don't do it!"
The light of the sword became a piece.
Jia Pingan stood on the top of the wall, and said dissatisfiedly, "Why is there only one?"
The leaders were brought here.
"Who else?"
Jia Ping'an turned around and asked.
The leaders bowed their heads in silence.
"I ask who else?"
His voice echoed in the city.
Below, the leader has been captured.
Bao Dong came up to ask for instructions.
Jia Pingan said flatly: "This is Emperor Li Pi's best friend, hang him at the gate of the city."
"No!"
The leader wept bitterly when he received the disposal decision.
"Duke, I'm obsessed with ghosts..."
Jia Pingan nodded, "Then go underground and continue fascinated."
Li Yuanying went to the top of the wall, and then said in fear: "It's almost over. How did you know that someone would do something?"
Jia Pingan said: "Yesterday when I told Xi Ren to go to the southwest, someone's face changed drastically. Although it was only a moment, I saw it."
At this moment, the leader below shouted: "Jia Ping'an, you devil...don't listen to him, Southwest..."
A sergeant turned the horizontal knife sideways and slapped it with the spine of the knife.
Boom!
"Woooooooooooooo..."
The leader who lost most of his teeth shouted, but no one knew what he was talking about.
“If you want to deceive people, you have to be prepared to be exposed.”
Jia Pingan turned around with his hands behind his back, looking at the vast white snow outside, "This place is close to the Tang Dynasty, and those merchants talk a lot, and they like to use all kinds of novel news to show off their knowledge. Some people have heard that the southwest of the Tang Dynasty is not a good place. No surprise."
Li Yuanying praised in his heart, "Sir, what if he doesn't do anything today?"
Jia Pingan pressed his hands on the top of the wall, and leaned forward slightly, "If he doesn't do anything, I'm going to let him follow someone back to report the news today. The road is icy and snowy. I heard that there are many tigers and wolves. They are so hungry in this weather."
Li Yuanying: "..."
…
Abu Gu took over the position of Governor of Songmo for a long time.
Having been in a high position for a long time, you will be naturally majestic. This is the so-called appearance from the heart.
The eight divisions of Khitan, at the moment the leaders of the eight divisions are standing on both sides.
Abu Gu, who was sitting at the top, looked at these respectful leaders, feeling a little dazed.
He felt that he was in Chang'an, right now in the palace of Chang'an. And the Emperor Datang was kneeling in front of him, begging bitterly, only begging to spare his life.
"No one is born weak."
Abu Gu said majesticly: "After the three kingdoms of Liaodong were destroyed, the land of Liaodong no longer had any great influence."
A leader said: "Khan, but Datang is continuously immigrating to Liaodong."
The name Khan belongs to a country. For example, the Turkic leader can be called Khan, but the Khitan leader who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty cannot.
Historically, the Chinese name of the Khitan leader after Abgu was Li Jinzhong, isn’t it nice?
Li Jinzhong, as soon as he heard it, he was very loyal.
But this loyal Khitan leader rebelled resolutely during Wu Mei's reign, broke through Yingzhou, and beheaded the governor of Yingzhou.
Wu Mei was furious, and immediately launched a large army to attack, but she looked around and found that there was no general who could fight. In the end, there was no general in Sichuan. Liao Hua sent a general to the vanguard, but he was defeated.
But Datang has a **** personality, similar to that of a big man, that is, it doesn't matter if you lose, let's keep going.
In the end, Khitan was defeated.
This is the follow-up situation.
Abu Gu raised his eyes, and said coldly: "What's the use of immigration? In my eyes, only Yingzhou is in my eyes. If you go to Yingzhou, who can stop my army in Liaodong?"
He asked: "The envoy has been to Xi Ren for a long time, and Emperor Li Pi should have made a decision. We are here to prepare troops and wait for Xi Ren to join, and then attack Yingzhou."
Everyone suddenly agreed.
Abu Gu got up, and said with piercing eyes: "Don't forget, we are Khitan, how can He De, the Tang Dynasty, make us submit? The Turks can't, and neither can they!"
He got up and got out of the big tent. The sun was shining brightly at the moment, and the snow was a bit reflective. Abu Gu squinted his eyes, "Be ready...the food and grass must be assembled, and the army must be assembled."
…
"I know you like to herd cattle."
Jia Pingan stood on the temporary earth platform outside the city and said: "There are many grasslands in the south of the Tang Dynasty. You can go there to graze. It is different from here. After you arrive in the south, the taxes are all according to the Tang Dynasty. , less, less pitiful!"
The crowd below is full of Xi people.
Say less about tens of thousands of people.
At this moment, Xi Ren maintains an army of 30,000 people, which is also a guarantee to be neighbors with Khitan...and also to guard against the attack of Tang Dynasty.
You don’t have tens of thousands of troops in your hands these days, and you are embarrassed to say hello to your neighbors when you go out.
Xi Ren below started talking, very noisy.
"Silence!"
The interpreters are shouting.
"Raise your hand if you want to talk."
Jia Pingan feels like a class teacher, but this class is bigger, with tens of thousands of people.
He was talking on the stage, and the people behind couldn't hear him at all.
But can be conveyed.
Immediately below are all raised arms.
Jia Pingan immediately clicked on a Xiren in front of him.
Xi Ren asked loudly: "Mr. Guo, how much tax does the Tang Dynasty charge?"
So this is the question?
Jia Pingan said: "Fifty tax one!"
Datang's comprehensive tax rate is about 40 tax one, but Jia Ping'an said it is fifty tax one, why? Because the south is a barren area at the moment, you let these people graze... No, Xi Ren will soon become the best farmer.
Let these people go to land reclamation, presumably His Majesty the Emperor will mercifully lower their taxes.
"Fifty tax one?"
"That low?"
Li Yuanying said in a low voice: "Is it okay to be tall?"
Ever since he knew what the south looks like, he has changed, "Tax should be exempted, and it should even be subsidized."
Jia Pingan looked at the situation with satisfaction and pressed his hand.
This time everyone was very obedient, and soon quieted down.
Wei Qingyi said faintly: "Sure enough, profit is the tool that drives human beings."
Li Yuanying praised: "This is brilliant, Xiao Wei is good."
Wei Qingyi said calmly: "This is what Zhao Guogong said."
Zhao Guogong said: "But before that, I need you to gather together."
Jia Pingan pointed in the direction of Khitan, and said: "You must have heard the news that Emperor Li Pi and Khitan colluded and wanted to betray Xi Ren. What does Abu Gu want? He wants to plot rebellion."
There was a commotion below.
The Tang army soldiers around held their swords on their handles and carried their spears. Even if there were only a thousand of them, they were still not afraid.
Jia Pingan squinted and looked down.
Li Yuanying has encountered many catastrophes in the past few days, and he is particularly afraid of these, so he whispered: "Sir, how about... let's be softer first? At least we can coax them before we talk."
Jia Pingan shook his head and looked at the group of leaders.
The leader of the Ahui Department shouted: "This is Zhao Guogong, the Zhao Guogong who attacked Zhujingguan in Liaodong last time!"
The noise is gradually disappearing
Later, the scene was unbelievably quiet.
Li Yuanying: "..."
Wei Qingyi said softly: "Through the ages, the only thing to die is."
"Good poetry." Li Yuanying praised: "Xiao Wei, you still have a poetic talent?"
Wei Qingyi stared blankly at Jia Pingan in front of him.
"Sir?"
Wei Qingyi nodded.
Jia Pingan smiled and said, "Is there anyone objecting?"
There was no sound below.
"Anyone who objects, just stand up and say, Jia is the most tolerant, just stand up."
Nobody moved.
Jia Pingan said: "In this way, we have reached a consensus."
"Forcibly!" Lei Hong muttered.
Bao Dong said coldly: "You must tell the Duke."
Lei Hong shook his head, "Don't."
Jia Ping'an is very satisfied that his reputation can make these people bow their heads and ears.
"According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, anyone who goes out with our army will have no less spoils, and no less!"
The commotion began below.
The so-called horses are not fat without night grass, and people are not rich without windfalls. Many tribes are counting on following the Tang Dynasty to make money.
"In this battle, those who behead three people can settle in Hedong Road."
The turmoil became more intense.
"Those who behead five people can settle in Guanzhong."
Countless people clenched the handle of the knife.
Guanzhong!
That is the richest place in the world.
"He who beheads ten people."
Jia Pingan said: "There will be a banquet after the war, and I will personally toast these warriors. In addition, they will follow me to Beijing, and His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will reward these warriors."
ten people!
As long as you can kill ten Khitan people, you will be received cordially by Zhao Guogong, and you will even be given the honor of toasting personally by Zhao Guogong. Then he went to Chang'an and got a reward... If he didn't manage well, he could stay in the Tang army, and become a general of the Tang Dynasty like Ashinasheer and others.
That's pretty much the super jackpot of the age.
The Warriors who asked themselves to qualify were excited.
Someone couldn't help shouting: "Duke, does it count if you capture it?"
Jia Pingan smiled and said, "Of course!"
Exploded!
There was a commotion below.
But this time Jia Pingan didn't care.
He turned around and ordered: "Get ready to go."
A group of people are still in a daze.
"Why? Don't want to leave?"
Jia Pingan asked.
Li Yuanying shook his head, "No."
This grand meeting, from the initial vigilance of each other to the enthusiasm of the people, it is only a blink of an eye.
"Is this the way to lead the army?"
Li Yuanying asked: "Sir, may I lead the army?"
Jia Pingan glanced at him, "Do you want to live longer?"
Li Yuanying nodded, "Of course."
Jia Pingan said: "Then give up this idea."
"Why?"
Li Yuanying was not convinced.
Jia Ping'an said: "It's fine if you go to the battlefield and get killed. The clan son has to lead the army anyway. Do you have the heart to kill those brothers?"
Li Yuanying: "..."
Jia Ping'an ordered: "By the way, you continue to move forward with the people, and when you meet the Khitan people, tell them that the mission is behind..."
Li Yuanying's mentality exploded, "Sir, are you still here?"
"This is a temper for you."
Jia Pingan frowned, "You don't need to go with them this time, just make it clear to those Khitan rangers. I just need to let Abgu know...we only have a thousand people."
